Description
Summary:Josquin des Prez has composed at least 20 masses. This article focuses on the presentation and analysis of compositional techniques in Missa de Beata Virgine used by Josquin des Prez. He used different techniques from the XVI. century: paraphrased cantus firmus melody, tropus, imitative and polyphonic techniques. His early style testifies to the influence of Guillaume Dufay and Jan van Ockeghem. Following his Italian experience he mastered the homophonic compositional technique, which strengthened the text-music relationship in his works.
